because he kept nagging her about letting him do some work for her so he could get some money to get his dinner.
He wants Elisa to give him work so he can earn some money.
The stranger is more direct and assertive in his approach to Elisa in the garden, asking for work and engaging in conversation about her prized chrysanthemums. In contrast, Henry's interactions with Elisa in the garden are more casual and routine, focused on everyday matters rather than probing deeper into her thoughts and emotions. Additionally, the stranger's interest in Elisa's garden and flowers shows a different level of appreciation and curiosity compared to Henry's more perfunctory observations.
Elisa's feelings and actions toward the stranger in John Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums" evolve from initial curiosity and interest to vulnerability and emotional connection. At first, she is intrigued by his interest in her chrysanthemums and engages in conversation eagerly. As the conversation progresses, she becomes more emotionally invested in the stranger's admiration and validation of her work, leading her to open up about her personal desires and frustrations. Ultimately, her interactions with the stranger awaken a sense of longing and yearning for a deeper connection and understanding, highlighting her desire for recognition and fulfillment in her life.

Elisa idealizes the visiting Tinker as exciting and smart, although it's difficult to tell whether he is actually either of these things. Although his misspelled advertisement for kitchen implement repair indicates that he hasn't had much schooling, the tinker comes across as a witty man who flirts and banters with Elisa. He is also clever and canny enough to convince the skeptical Elisa to give him work, begging at first and finally resorting to flattery. His ability to manipulate her may appeal to Elisa, who is used to manipulating her own husband. In fact, she seems to relish the chance to spar with a worthy partner, and the tinker produces an intense reaction in her. If we can trust her interpretation of him, he shares her appreciation for travel and her interest in a physical connection. However, Steinbeck suggests that although the tinker may actually possess these qualities, it is also possible that Elisa merely imagines that he possesses them because she's so desperate to talk to someone who understands her. In fact, the tinker may be bewildered and embarrassed by her intensity and want only to sell his services to her. The fact that he tosses away her chrysanthemum shoots-a symbol of Elisa herself-supports the idea that the tinker does not share Elisa's passions at all.
The isolated location of the ranch contributes to Elisa's feelings of loneliness and boredom.
